About us
The Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA) is the lead emergency management agency for the Territory as defined in the Virgin Islands Code, Title 23, Chapter 10. As such, the VITEMA’s mission is to prepare for, coordinate the response to and the recovery from all hazards and threats that impacts the Virgin Islands.
In recent years, VITEMA has focused the majority of its planning and training efforts on hurricane and coastal storm preparedness. While this preparedness effort is extremely important, the Territory faces many equally dangerous and significant threats from other natural and man-made disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis and terrorism. The Territory must maintain a high level of readiness in order to effectively respond to these threats especially in light of recent earthquake events in Haiti and Chile in our hemisphere.

Victoria J. asked:My Dad was recently diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago and is in St. Thomas at this moment. He needs to get his treatment ASAP. He is also diabetic which has been out of control from the time we found out he had cancer. He needs to have a nurse monitor his numbers and help give him his insulin. My family has been trying to help him. His sugar numbers spikes up to 300+ sometimes and also drops really low below 80 which he ends up having chills and sometimes excessive sweating. Who do I speak to in regards to having him fly out of St. Thomas and into Florida? Needs information.
